Preheat oven to 375.

Combine 2 oz of Red Hots and water in saucepan over low heat until most of the red hots are dissolved.

Combine apple pie filling and red hot mixture in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Place one sheet of pie dough in bottom of pie pan.

Pour filling into the pie crust.

Top with remaining Red Hots.

Using a pastry cutter or knife cut other pie crust into strips.

Basket weave the strips to form a lattice top. Trim and crimp around edges.

Bake for 40 minutes. If the edges of your pie are getting too brown before the center is browned, cover edges with aluminum foil.
